摘要
配对盒因子6(Pax6)是一种重要的转录因子,在哺乳动物眼睛、中枢神经系统、胰岛等的发育中具有重要作用。业已证实,Pax6基因杂合子突变与糖代谢异常相关联。本文对Pax6基因在胰岛发育过程和血糖稳态调节中的作用进行讨论。
Paired box 6 (Pax6) ,a critical transcription factor,plays an important role in the devel- opment of eye, central nerve system and endocrine pancreas in mammals. It has been demonstrated that heter-ozygous mutation in Pax6 gene is associated with abnormal glucose metabolism. The role of Pax6 gene in the development of pancreatic islets as well as in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis is discussed in this article.
